Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the potential of using the periodist's longest tendon autograft as an alternative option for ACL reconstruction. The speaker highlights the importance of graft selection in achieving effective biological connections and optimal osteointegration. The video then describes the surgical technique for obtaining the periodist's longest tendon autograft, including identifying and releasing the tendon from surrounding tissue. The speaker emphasizes the benefits of this technique, such as reduced donor-site morbidity. Results from the study show comparable functional scores to hamstring tendon autografts but with less donor-site morbidity. Overall, the use of periodist's longest tendon autograft in primary ACL reconstruction is considered safe with excellent outcomes.
